I have ppportunity to buy a Nikon AF-S 24-120mm VR lens for $260.00 and it is new in the box.

I currently use the Nikon AF-S DX 18-200mm VR (Original Version) on my D300 with a few other lenses. The lens creep bothers me so I was considering buying the AF-S 24-120mm VR lens and using that when I take my large bag with me and other lenses. Then I would just use the AF-S DX 18-200mm VR for when I am traveling light.

Both lenses would be used with the AF-S DX 10-24mm when necessary.

What are the thoughts of others regarding this potential purchase? I know that this lens has not been given very many positive reviews, but for $260.00 new, it is tempting.

You are right, but I guess to me it seems a bit strange to have 2 of them plus the 18-200mm. Again it is the price. I think I will go ahead and buy it and if later I determine that I do not really need it I can always sell it on EBay and get at least my money out of it.
